Good morning. It is a beautiful day, but

It is a beautiful day, but for some it is not.

November 16, 2024

Good morning. It is a beautiful day, but for some it is not. Because life changed in a moment. It is always shocking how you are going along; everything is fine and dandy, and then suddenly, your life is forever changed. All you can do is sit down to try and catch your breath. As you are aware, life is life, there are moment of joy and sorrow, happiness and pain, health and sickness, life and death. As people of God, we turn to the LORD to see us through life’s struggles and heartache. Scripture tells us in Romans 12:12, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” I believe prayer helps us to deal with life and life’s difficulties. So, when life throws you lemons, go to God in prayer. When life bombards you with pain, go to God in prayer. When life fills you with sorrow, go to God in prayer. When life hits you below the belt, go to God in prayer. He will give you the strength and courage you need to get through the situation you are in. For He is there. He will help. Go to Him. God bless. Amen.
